if the tortoise does not hibernate? If the tortoise does not hibernate, it is not the right time. When the temperature drops, it will stop feeding and enter hibernation. It should be noted that not all tortoises can hibernate, if it is a young tortoise born not long ago, or a thin tortoise, hibernation is often difficult to persist, so it is best to choose adult tortoises to hibernate. As for tortoises that do not hibernate, they need to be heated for the winter, and they can be fed and changed normally.
1. Supplement nutrition: If tortoises want to hibernate, they must first accumulate enough nutrition, so they need to increase feeding after autumn. It needs to be fed twice a day, and meat such as fish and shrimp with high nutritional content should be chosen. It can also be matched with some vegetables. At the same time, attention should be paid to calcium supplementation.
2. Stop eating and cool down: Two weeks before hibernation, tortoises need to stop eating and cool down properly. The purpose of this is to allow the tortoise to hibernate as soon as possible, while allowing a certain amount of time for it to empty its stomach. It should be noted that the temperature can not be reduced too much at one time, and it can be reduced by 2 degrees Celsius every day.
3. Spray water properly: After entering the hibernation state, the tortoise usually gets into the sand or coconut soil, but it has certain requirements for humidity, so it should be checked regularly and sprayed with water to humidify it. If you hibernate in shallow water, you don't need to spray water, but you need to change the water once a week to keep the water clean.
